I take no pleasure in knowing an execution took place in Georgia last week, but I am thankful that justice has been served.

In the morass of arguments for and against, it is good to know that there are persons who stand for what is right: a life for a life (Exodus 21:24). God’s laws don’t change, they are never amended, they do not need updating and they still apply.

Some prominent voices got this wrong; we live in a world that has drifted far away from God, as if there will be no reckoning, as if there will be no judgment.

What many people forget is that capital punishment is just that: punishment that fits the crime.

I trust the guilty one came to know her saviour Jesus for the eternity that is ahead of her now.
